Dhani longs to join Gandhiji on the Dandi march, but his father says he is too young to walk the distance. Can the adamant young boy convince Gandhiji to let him go along?
This is 'Marching to Freedom', one of the books in the series published by Pratham Books, written by Subhadra Sen Gupta and illustrated by Tapas Gupta.
There are four books, and each tells a story that stands alone -- interesting, exciting, original, always with a little twist at the end. They are set in different periods of Indian history, and bring detail alive -- clothing, architecture, culture are all woven effortlessly into the story.
'Raza Meets the King' is set in the Mughal period -- during King Akbar's time.
'A Royal Procession' is set in Pataliputra in the time of Emperor Ashoka.
'Sailing Home' is a story about the children of a sailor during the Pallava period in Tamil Nadu.
All four books deserve a place in any collection of books for children!
Each book costs Rs. 25. Visit Pratham Books for more details.
